No. I almost did once when I was young 17-18 ish. I had an argument with my Dad which was unusual. I went to get my car keys but couldn't find them. So escape over.

How long does it take you to get to work?
If I go by subway about 30 min. If I walk about 40 min.
Don't think that I walk with a speed near the one of a subway, the difference is due to the route in both cases. Even when I take. the subway I have to walk a lot (the trip by subway is about 3-4 min.)and I take it cos it's more convenient to walk on a long alley with linden trees and without crossroads continuing to dream that I'm not going to work but to an exotic place.
What is/was your fav thread on Motorsport forum?
My most posted on thread is this one. Interview people below. However I think the best time I had was posting on the Le Man 24 hour thread last year.
There was only about 6 of us posting, but there was a lot of useful info and good spirit. And no trolling at all.
I will pass the question on. What is/was your fav thread on Motorsport forum?
""message to gadjo dilo"" of course. :p
What is your fav city?
My hometown of Chelmsford officially became a City in 2012. So it would have to be us. :p
Have you ever been on a steam train?
Yes. I'm old enough to have travelled on steam trains in Kenya and I've also travelled on some of the preserved steam railways in England like the Bluebell Railway.
On the same sort of theme, have you ever flown in a piston engined aircraft?
Frequently. NZ is a smallish country and many of the commuter routes use small planes rather than commuter jets. My first sky-dive was also out of a Cessna 206.
Have you ever skydived? - would you?

Have you ever skydived? - would you?
no and no.
Will you throw a party on your birthday?
Not If I can help it. I like a nice quiet day if possible. I am not one for lots of people.
Are you a people person? i.e- Are you comfortable in large crowds or do you prefer small groups or time to yourself?
no, I'm more the hermit type.
Do you like to take photos?
Yes. I have recently became interested in the last few years. I have been looking up old photo's of my hometown from 1865-1990s and I plan to take some modern photo's to match and continue the tradition for myself.
Have you seen a film at the cinema lately?
I saw "Rush" and the last before that was "Senna" and before that I can't remember - probably "Transformers" with my 3-year old son (he's now 33!)
Do you think anybody will ever produce a motor racing film that fans will approve of?
http://www.fandango.com/movie-traile...-trailer/96251
As far as I remember I liked this movie but it's true, I'm not a fan.....:p.
Then it also was Le Mans with Steve McQueen,
What's your fav song from a movie?
Tough one.
erm..... to honest I am not a huge film fan so I don't know many. I cant answer sorry.
Are you good at mathematics?
Now that’s a tough one....At this very moment I’m totally blank as my job doesn’t require math knowledge and I forgot all I’ve learnt in school. Used to be good on elementary school, then on high school I studied at one of the best schools in my country that was ultra specialized in math and I was submediocre. That was probably the time when I started to lose confidence in me. But then I went to university when I noticed I was way better at math than most of my colleagues. To be honest never liked it too much and don’t think I have a special skill for it. Also can’t understand why I had to spend so much time and cry rivers of tears ( but thx God hadn’t have to spend money ) studying it.
Are you good at geography? :devil: :p
Judging on how I missed Donkeys answer yesterday in the Geography thread I suppose I am rubbish. :(
Are you happy to see the geography thread up and running again?
Hey.....I've already answered it a few days ago.... Of course yes.
How good is your memory? :devil:
Not good enough. We need some other people to ask questions. I am running low on ideas.
Are you worried about climate changes occurring around the globe?
I am worried about it, yes.
We had a very pleasant climate (as pleasant as it can be in a hot, tropical country), especially in the rainy and winter seasons. But that has changed drastically over the last decade or so. (I do believe some or most of it is man-made)
Are you a religious person or do you believe in God?
I believe in God without asking too many questions, just take it for granted and I don't have a problem with this. Maybe because I belong to the eastern ( orthodox ) church. I'm more following religious traditions than being a proper religious person.
What is your fav shop?
Tesco. Because I can get all my shopping in one go. :p
What is the strangest question you have ever been asked?
If I ever has been driven in a car naked. :devil:
What were the circumstances when you felt really dirty?
I am going to take that as meaning in a literal sense. :devil:
Probably playing Football one time. It was pouring with rain and the pitch had no grass on it, it was just a complete mud bath. You would sink to you ankles and I was covered by the end. I had to have a long shower after that.
Have you ever seen a ghost?
Not yet. I've never met a member of motorsport forums.
:p
Have you ever disguised as a ghost?
I have put a sheet over my head in the past and waved my arms around. That's about it.
Have you ever used a hammer?
Be careful. In Romanian ''hammer'' has 2 meanings. Yes. :p
Have you ever made a sculpture?
I am not a regular churchgoer, but I do believe in God and have what could be termed religious beliefs, but i keep my beliefs to myself. I suppose that, on balance, I do think of myself as a religious person.
When did you last change jobs, or think seriously of changing?
I think about changing it every day. But it's almost impossible to find a new one so I clench my teeth and endure.
Who is your fav writer?
I like Alistair Reynolds, Ben Bova and some Anne McCaffery. Plus too many more to list.
Coffee or tea first thing in the morning
Coffee every time
Do you normally eat lunch?
Yes. I have to have a regular 3 meals a day. Otherwise I go all floppy. :p
Which town or City do you live in. Or which is closest?
Come on.....You've just asked this the other day.....
BUCHAREST. - BOOK-A-REST
Do you live in the centre of your city?
No I live in a suburb.
Have you ever written a story?
I was one of the cowriters of the Neverending story on this forum. :
It had only 11 pages though.....:p
Do you like the crosswords?
General knowledge crosswords are good, cryptic crosswords do my head in though.
Do you prefer tyo work with words or numbers?
Since I have to work with both of them the answer is none of them. Numbers requires more attention and we shall analyse them anyway and say "words" about results. Working with words means that at least 3 other bosses will read and give back the papers because in their opinion a comma is wrong placed. We have a deputy manager who always send back our works with a " discussion, please" note. Then she says the same but putting the words in other order. One day when we "discussed" a sh*t of paper I asked her who's her fav writer ( touching a sensible chord as I'm sure she's not that educated :p). She was surprised and asked why. I answered because I want to change my literary style according to her fav's in order to have my papers signed.
What name would you have liked to have in real life?
I am happy with my given name as it is.
What type of Bread do you normally eat? White, Brown, Grain or baguette's?
White. I don't have a bakery in the neighbourhood so I buy the most ordinary bread from the boutique round the corner.
Do you like pastry products?
I like a nice fruit pie. yum yum.
I am watching Curling at the moment from the winter olympics. Have you ever watched Curling.
